I know I know, I was a very good writer in terms of grammatical correctness… but hey I still am that guy for sure… I definitely need to find the first part of this story… anyways this just makes for good laugh and reminiscing moment.
And I guess posting things from what I wrote in the past helps with keeping this blog more active even though this is not some new refreshing topic for me to discuss with myself and the anonymity of the world… o well takes up space..
Life Story: Rules of thumb
There are many rules of thumb in life.
Today’s rule of thumb deals with those “dealings of
the heart.” Again I am writing some factual
information about people who have decided to share
their experiences with me and in much respect to them
I’ve decided to keep their anonymity by not using any
names what so ever, as compared to my last story (for
the names were provided by the as people would call
him the protagonist). So lets continue to the story
at hand.
As I’ve been my usual self and being the
observant one that I am, I’ve noticed that a major
rule of thumb when dealing with the heart is to first
don’t listen to your heart right away. I met someone
who would always lead with his heart (everyone might
know him, because he is one and the same from the
last story), and it would always get him into
trouble. For though he did analyze parts of the
situation he never analyzed himself and the things he
was doing. And that’s why it got him into so much
trouble.
Also to take a small tangent from this
story this is a continuation of the last story,
because this story contains the girl’s side from the
last story. So let us first move forward with that.
So the young man finally acted on which option he
should take and he mixed and matched all of them
together as recommended by the readers. Initially he
decided to chose option #2
Force himself to not like this girl anymore and just
try to be friends with
her even though he likes her so much and has some
many different feelings
for her, that he didn’t even have for that first girl
he was infatuated with.
And he really, really has been working on forcing
himself on not liking this girl anymore and has been
trying to be friends but it really didn’t work out.
Then he decided to move to option #4
Actually talk to STRIKER and let her know how he has
been feeling and
tell her all the feelings he has for her and see what
happens, and hop it doesn’t
affect their friendship or maybe, just maybe have
that special opportunity
to have a chance to spark something extremely
special with STRIKER.
And oh did he move onto option #4 he didn’t really
dwell on option #2 for too long. So he told her and
everything and basically laid himself on the line as
he usually does, and then boom she laid it on him. He
showed up on the radar as an extremely flirty friend,
not even considered in the “what if” category. Even
his friend who he thought caused all the drama ranked
higher than he did. She then went ahead to explain
the whole story to him. What was happening was that
she was still in love with her EX and she just
couldn’t let go of him. She explained to him that
though he did cheated on her and could have had the
chance to treat her better, she still had enormous
feelings for her EX. To quote her on how much she
still loved him, “I don’t know, I know he did me
wrong… but its just that he was the first guy in a
long time since my last boyfriend that I could give
my whole self too.” So she went o! n explaining to
him that she was still “sprung
over her EX and that his timing was extremely bad
(personally, I think his timing shouldn’t of come at
all if you understand that). So after he told her
everything and she basically laid it on him that,
your not that kind of person to me, he then moved to
option #1
Just cut his loses and move on. And basically cut her
off completely
from his life, so that he has the ability to function
and not get hurt.
Well so since he moved onto this option he has been
able to cope with most of his life and get back to
the things he was doing that made his life normal
well at least to him. But he has told me that he
hasn’t cut her off completely, he has just set things
into motion in which he’s not making all that great
an effort to associate with her (and even I know that
cutting someone out of your life isn’t the best thing
to do but, I can feel for the guy). It’s just that I
see and everyone else should see that they just need
time apart to think about what has happened and what
has been said, then move on from there. Because ever
since the moment that they had their talk, nothing
would or could have ever been the same. So I hope
there was some clarification on to what happened and
on maybe what will happen in the future. This will
probably the last installment on what happens between
those to because I’ve lost contact ! girl so I can
really fill you in with both sides of the story.
Now back to the story, what was being
discussed again? Oh yes rules of thumb. We had
basically just got done with “dealings with the
heart”, now onto something else that touches a little
closer to home for myself. It is somewhat unusual
that something would be happening to me, but hey with
life things happen.
This rule of thumb is dealing with
friendships. “Friendship” that is a very strong word,
and a lot of people take it for granted. And I am a
person who takes all my friendships for granted, to
the point that I begin to lose them due to
uncontrolled circumstances. So let me just get onto
the story, I have these really close friends (2
really close friends that out of most people
understand my shit) and lately we’ve all grown apart
from each other and it has been really hard.
So here goes the situation, they’re in
college and I decided not to go and now they’re in a
fraternity and I am not. And this is where it really
gets juicy, I find myself losing 2 of the closest
people in my life, just because we’re growing apart
and I know I can only burden them with my presence
for so long. I know this isn’t quite making sense but
oh well. It just so hard for me to cope with a lot of
the things going on in my life and not be able to
have my buds to take off some of the pressure. Before
the whole fraternity it was hard for us to be
separated aside from out daily lives and the things
we had to do, but now I work so much and they have
their own thing, its just that I don’t know what to
do. And I know this is the little girl in me but its
really, really hard to know that were all growing u!
p and moving on. Its not like I’m losing them, but it
just feels that way because we all just have our own
thing. But what I’m really trying to say is that a
good rule of thumb when it comes to friendships, is
know that no matter they’ll still be there for you.
Now its time for a personal entry, no rule
of thumb well maybe your just going to have to find
them for yourself. It’s been typical me lately and
once again I find myself on the brink as to what I
should do, I’m pretty intent on not enrolling in the
university of Washington though I was accepted this
spring and am very decided and picking up and moving
down to California. I know I’m going to be leaving my
friends and I know that I’m going to have to build
something of myself and start fresh down in San
Francisco, but I’m somewhat excited to get a fresh
start. Just because everything here in Washington for
me is really nothing, not to say that my friends and
the things I have accomplished here is nothing. I
guess its just that there is nothing left for me to
do here, I’ve only finally realized that I am a! n
adult capable of making my own decisions without
having to stress about what other people think. But I
was never a person who cared what other people,
except for those times of weakness when I left my
defenses down for those dam girls. Oh well, enough of
the hiding right? I thought so. The last story was a
personal experience written in a biographical way,
just for my own personal benefit.
Honestly I don’t really care anymore who I
share what I right with anymore because I find that
it is a great opportunity for me to release things
that I otherwise couldn’t ever say. So for me this is
a great way to tell people things. And now a little
chance to tell people some things:
Chris-
Well Chris what is there to say, you’ve been like a
brother to me. Shit you are a brother to me (cause
sure as hell, we can argue like were related) man its
been awhile since those first days we used to hangout
and all that good stuff. I know we’ll always stay
bros no matter what, well that’s just how I feel
about the whole situation and everything that goes
with that. I don’t now what to say because were
always pretty much on the same wavelength about
things so you know what I’m thinking. Hey I don’t
know if I do it enough or even at all but I just want
to thank you for your help and being there for me and
you know I love you man and don’t even stress because
the DOC DOC will always be on our side.
Nick-
Ok nick first things first, I know you want to punch
me in the face and I mean I know you want just punch
me in the face a lot. And hey if you really feel the
need to I’m not going to stop you because shit, I
couldn’t really do anything about the situation, if
it ever did come up. Dang man we’ve gone through some
shit over the years and your doing your thing and I’m
doing my thing. Your one of the friends that has
really been able to put up and give me shit right
back. Not to many people can do that, but shit not
many people could bare my ass. I just want to thank
you also, for being such a homie and all that good
stuff, and like I said with chris were always pretty
much on the same wavelength. So that’s about it.
Brian-
Ok there isn’t much to say, but you’re a homie till
the bitter end. You’ll never get rid of my ass and I
know its going to be the same for me. I know we argue
hella and I know you argue hella, but hey shit
happens. Ok now onto the meat of this, I’d like to
thank you also, just for being a friend and also for
helping me out with a whole lot of shit (i.e when I
was drunk, parking passes, everything)
